My CO, Mike Groves, Honor Guard Co., 1st Bn, 3rd Inf. Regt., The Old Guard, was a favorite of Jackie Kennedy. She would request him to baby sit Caroline and little John. Imagine, a hard chargin’ infantry captain tapped for baby sitting duty by the First Lady, but he loved doing it. The assassination of JFK was an extremely stressful time for Captain Groves. In spite of the fact that he was in top physical shape, he suffered a heart attack and died shortly after the burial of Pres. Kennedy.
